Box of Socksin’

If you’ve read my last post you’ll know that this year is going to be a year of creative goal realization (if all goes as planned!) One of my first creative goals/knitting goals this year was to participate in the Box of Socks 2017 KAL hosted by Kristin of Voolenvine Yarns and the Yarngasm Podcast. So far so good folks! I have just turned the heel on my (self-named/pattern-free) Fresh and Fruity socks.

Ugh, you guys this yarn is so juicy and yummy. I mean, please. It’s a sock set by Long Dog Yarn including Dark Dimension (MC) and Quick Fling (CC). The yarn is an 80-20 merino/nylon blend and is soooo soft. I don’t know, but I think 80-20 is my jam.

As for the pattern, I’m not really using one. I found this great, simply-put explanation of sock math and structure and just added my own measurements. If you’re looking for just that, something you can adjust and pattern with, head here and check out the information. You won’t be disappointed!
